# std::ranges::split_view<V,Pattern>::iterator

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | ranges‎ | split view

class /*iterator*/; |  | (since C++20) (exposition only*)

The return type of `split_view::begin`. This is a `forward_iterator`, so it is expected that `V` models at least `forward_range`.

### Member types

Member type | Definition
`iterator_concept` | std::forward_iterator_tag
`iterator_category` | std::input_iterator_tag
`value_type` | ranges::subrange<ranges::iterator_t<V>>
`difference_type` | ranges::range_difference_t<V>

### Data members

Member | Description
ranges::split_view<V, Pattern>* `parent_` (private) | a pointer to the parent split_view object (exposition-only member object*)
ranges::iterator_t<V> `cur_` (private) | an iterator into the underlying `view` that points to the begin of a current subrange (exposition-only member object*)
ranges::subrange<ranges::iterator_t<V>> `next_` (private) | a subrange to the position of the pattern next to the current subrange (exposition-only member object*)
bool `trailing_empty_` (private) | a flag that indicates whether an empty trailing subrange (if any) was reached (exposition-only member object*)

### Member functions

(constructor) (C++20) | constructs an iterator (public member function)
base (C++20) | returns the underlying iterator (public member function)
operator* (C++20) | returns the current subrange (public member function)
operator++operator++(int) (C++20) | advances the iterator (public member function)

## std::ranges::split_view::iterator::iterator

/*iterator*/() = default; | (1) | (since C++20)
constexpr /*iterator*/( split_view& parent, ranges::iterator_t<V> current, ranges::subrange<ranges::iterator_t<V>> next ); | (2) | (since C++20)

1) Value-initializes non-static data members with their default member initializers, that is

- ranges::split_view* parent_ = nullptr;,
- ranges::iterator_t<V> cur_ = ranges::iterator_t<V>();,
- ranges::subrange<ranges::iterator_t<V>> next_ = ranges::subrange<ranges::iterator_t<V>>();, and
- bool trailing_empty_ = false;.

2) Initializes non-static data members:

- ranges::split_view* parent_ = std::addressof(parent);,
- ranges::iterator_t<V> cur_ = std::move(current);,
- ranges::subrange<ranges::iterator_t<V>> next_ = std::move(next);, and
- bool trailing_empty_ = false;.

## std::ranges::split_view::iterator::base

constexpr const ranges::iterator_t<V> base() const; |  | (since C++20)

Equivalent to return cur_;.

## std::ranges::split_view::iterator::operator*

constexpr value_type operator*() const; |  | (since C++20)

Equivalent to return {cur_, next_.begin()};.

## std::ranges::split_view::iterator::operator++

constexpr /*iterator*/& operator++(); | (1) | (since C++20)
constexpr void operator++( int ); | (2) | (since C++20)

1) Equivalent to
cur_ = next_.begin();

if (cur_ != ranges::end(parent_->base_))
{
if (cur_ = next_.end(); cur_ == ranges::end(parent_->base_))
{
trailing_empty_ = true;
next_ = {cur_, cur_};
}
else
next_ = parent_->find_next(cur_);
}
else
trailing_empty_ = false;

return *this;
2) Equivalent to auto tmp = *this; ++*this; return tmp;.

### Non-member functions

operator== (C++20) | compares the underlying iterators (function)

## operator==(std::ranges::split_view::iterator, std::ranges::split_view::iterator)

friend constexpr bool operator==( const /*iterator*/& x, const /*iterator*/& y ); |  | (since C++20)

Equivalent to return x.cur_ == y.cur_ and x.trailing_empty_ == y.trailing_empty_;.

The `!=` operator is synthesized from `operator==`.

This function is not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup, and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when `std::ranges::split_view::iterator` is an associated class of the arguments.
